Dear Judo Community,

With much regret, we have decided to cancel the upcoming California State Judo Tournament. We understand that many people have been excited to have judo tournaments to start again in Northern California.

As we are still emerging from the pandemic to a state of normalcy, we have been having difficulty organizing and garnering enough resources and community support to host a tournament of this magnitude. We want to give the judo community the best tournament experience in Northern California but as things stand right now, it would not be possible.

If you signed up for USJF membership specifically for this tournament, please contact me at m.p[email protected] to get your membership extended.

For those who have registered for the tournament, a refund will be processed.

We are working hard to bring back our tournaments, but at this point of time, we need to go back and reassess our needs. We look forward to seeing you in the future.
